Error while running offlineimap

[Ajeet Grewal <asgrewal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys,

I get the following error while running offlineimap

== ERROR ==

Last 1 debug messages logged for Account sync FAS prior to exception:
maildir: MaildirRepository initialized, sep is '.'
== END ERROR ==

After some digging around I found that this was raised on line 166 of
imaplibutil.py by the socket.connect_ex() method. 

I am lost after that though. Any ideas why this is happening? BTW, I can
connect to the same imap server using my mail client.
